Coronavirus Update With Dr. Dennis Norem
Dr. Dennis Norem made his weekly visit to the show to give us the latest on the coronavirus and COVID-19.
There has been a lot of new coronavirus information in the last few weeks.
Cases are climbing and hospitals are filling up. Dr. Norem talks about some unique stresses at local hospitals, like staffing issues, that are at the core of community care.
We now have a third promising vaccine for the coronavirus. We asked Dr. Norem if the general public should be concerned with which vaccine they get when it becomes available to the public.
Then we of course talked to him about the upcoming holiday season and what kind of precautions people should take. Spoiler alert: It's what basically every other medical professional has been telling you for weeks. Stay safe this Thanksgiving please.
All that plus some talk about the Danish mask study that's been floating around the last week.
We always learn something and thank Dr. Norem for taking time out of his day to talk to us.
